Warrandyte Community Facilities Review Report available now

The Warrandyte Community Facilities Review Report, which outlines opportunities for improving community facilities in Warrandyte, has now been released.

Over the past 18 months, we’ve consulted with more than 30 stakeholders including community groups and facility users.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their feedback which has helped inform this report.

The review was a key recommendation of the Manningham Community Infrastructure Plan, which was released in 2023.

In addition to meeting with key stakeholders, the review has included detailed needs analysis and building condition assessments to better understand community needs and ensure future works result in fit for purpose facilities.

The review aimed to identify priorities for Warrandyte community infrastructure and ensure facilities deliver maximum benefit to the community.

No decisions have been made yet. Each opportunity will be further investigated with the Warrandyte community and there will be more consultation with user groups.

Opportunities included in the report include:

Expanding and upgrading the Warrandyte Community Hall in Warrandyte Reserve to allow for increased use, such as relocating the Warrandyte Scouts and Men’s Shed to this site.
Advocating to the Victorian Government to relocate the Warrandyte Kindergarten to a new purpose-built facility at one of the two primary schools in the township.
Subject to the successful relocation of Warrandyte Kindergarten, consider moving the Warrandyte Childcare and Preschool to a new purpose-built facility on the Taroona Ave site.
Progressively improving the Warrandyte Reserve sporting facilities and looking at options to increase pavilion use.
Exploring opportunities to accommodate additional users or services in the Warrandyte Community Centre.
Addressing the long-term needs of the Warrandyte Historical Museum, with the preferred option to firstly explore the potential to update the current building.
Exploring options at Colman Park for increased use including the main pavilion and sports ground, tennis facilities and the horse and pony grounds.

The immediate priority will be undertaking a feasibility study in 2026 for the potential future expansion and upgrade of the Warrandyte Community Hall.

Community members can provide feedback until 5:00pm, Thursday 18 December 2025.
